Local College and High School Sports Roundup: Wildcat golfers miss nationals by two strokes

Ricky Owaki shot a final-round 72 and Will Flitcroft and Lee Gearhart each had 73s, but the Chico State men's golf team finished two strokes shy of the important fifth qualifying spot to go to the NCAA Division II national championships and finished in seventh place at the West/South Central Super Regional on Wednesday in DuPont, Wash.

Owaki finished tied for sixth on the individual leaderboard. Alistair Docherty shot a 76 and Scott Raber had a 75 for the Wildcats, who saw their season come to an end but are well-equipped for the future with four of its players in this tournament being just freshman.
